Some Things Never Change

Like this mess. Zoe Bug is still rocking at night, and waking up with this rat's nest in her hair. Awhile ago a reader suggested silk pillow cases to me, and she even told me where I could find them, but even that didn't work. I was so hopeful.

I'm so sad. Zoe Bug is so sad.

I'm a bit of a control freak, you may have noticed, and I've never let my kids out of the house without combing their hair. It's odd, I somehow feel it's a reflection on my skillz as a mother. I prefer to have their hair not only combed, but bedecked with coordinating bows or ribbon.

I'm starting to rethink that insanity. It's getting to be such a drag.

I'll try to look at it positively. It's like a perpetual crazy hair day at school.

I seriously laughed so hard through this. My daughter has to have her hair brushed about 3 times a day because she has naturally curly hair and rubs her head with anything soft while she sleeps. I HATE it! It looks like a rat nest in the back and it is painful to brush that puppy out. Try the spray leave in conditioner, it might make it a LITTLE easier to brush out;) It's the best I have experienced. De-tanglers are a shame. They aren't any better than water.

Oh my goodness...I am just laughing so hard. Good thing I have boys-I am terrible with my own hair, I can't imagine trying to do a daughters! My boys just wake up and go-with hardly a brush going through it...

LOL! I can't tell if she's sad about her hair or because she knows you're going to blog about it! : ) I had a sister who rocked as well, except she just went from side to side. I totally forgot about that until I read your post. I guess there is nothing you could put on her hair or head at night; it would probably come off.

Oh how you make me laugh, and so often I need extra ho ho's for the bad days!

I was a hairdresser for years, and I am trying to think of this spray that helps keep the tangling, but I would recommend putting the hair in braids, that is why women centuries ago would tie up their hair at night, and I did as a child. Aussie 3 min Miracle spray I think is the name, it will tame it, or at least help with combing the next morning...

I've had one heck of a day today, (one of those constant running kind of days!) FINALLY I had a minute to sit down at the computer and I pulled up my list of blogs that I check every day. Got to yours, and started rocking the chair with laughter! THANK YOU!!! I So Needed Your Blog Today!!Wish I was your Neighbor!!!!!

I too was a hair stylest and braids sound like the best option if her hair is still really frazzled when you get it combed out me and my sis use stuff on our kids hair to smooth the crazy it is bedhead after party a tiny dab will do lasts forever and makes thier hair look smooth and neat is worth a shot and the $ for sure

Is this for real?? This is her hair in the mornings??? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Seriously ROTFL! What the heck does she eat before bed to make her toss and turn like that??? Just imagine her metabolism doesn't take a break for a second! I could use that!

I have two girls (8 and 9 1/2). Both have long hair that is fine. We do a braid every night as others have recommended. Even still, my oldest, who has fine blonde hair, can still have the halo of fuzz. I don't know if she does head stands in bed or what.

I would also suggest a style of brush that seems to hurt much less. Paddle brushes and any of those rectangular "vented" brushes HURT AND PULL. We have a circular brush, with faux boar bristles (something like this: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P10147&categoryId=B70) and it seems to pull the least.

Good luck-BTW, my girls are not allowed to leave the house without having their hair "did". We get picked on about being proper but I don't care.

My daughter has some seriously fine hair.. no matter how many clips and elastics or bows i put in.. a little craziness!soooo every sat night i put in foam rollers. she is a doll at church!! i pop them into pig tails quick as can be - still adorable. they help work with her hair wayyyy better! give it a try.

I am SO with you on the hair thing...my kid isn't gonna be the "ghetto" one at school...cause that would make ME ghetto right?? I would rather her miss the bus, and have cute hair than be on time...and I have to say...that has happened...!! Good luck with the tangles...hope you have ten year's supply of detangler...!!

I'm sure you have tried everything...and this would take a while (to grow it out), but how about growing it out and pulling it into a tight bun or ponytail. When my hair is longer I like to sleep with it in a ponytail...it's less of a nest in the morning. Good luck!!

Bedhead After Party, huh. Got to find me some, because I just blogged about the exact same issue, except my pictures didn't compare to yours. So funny. And I can't braid, so that idea is out for now. Funny bit of synchronicity.
